The food was average not very helpful with Gluten Free choices. The Penne Giardiniera which says Gluten free option available when I checked was told just the pasta part not the main part of the dish so it wasn't really an option and as such not GF.Surprised no GF pizzas as these seem widely available now. The Bruschetta was really some halved tomatoes no real taste. My partner's linguine was good and he enjoyed the arancini. Unfortunately the carbonara whilst GF was served on a cold plate so went cold quickly so a bit cloying. The service was there but little things like offering water, explaining anything not.

Staff were very good - our server paid particular attention to my fussy eater Grandson to make sure he was enjoying his food and offering him alternatives. Food was great and we all enjoyed it. Perhaps add a dessert that’s dairy free - the polenta cake was a bit grainy!

This was our first time at Carluccio’s Gunwharf Quays for a good few years. The experience was first class. The team clearly enjoy working here and made our time there (3 hours - no hurrying) such a pleasure. Not just good service, but real personal service and a sense of fun. The food was splendid. We ate from the seasonal set menu, which was very good value for the choices available and the quality of the food. Well done to the team and thanks for making our friends meet up so good. We will be back soon.

Lovely restaurant, pleasant ambience. Not a wide choice though for anybody who is gluten-free and dairy-free and who doesn't like spicy food. Apart from that it was very nice. The sea-food risotto with mussels and hot pepper would have been nicer without the spicy hot pepper, but it was very creamy with the arborio rice and the seafood was delicious.
